Eduard Romeu [Economic VP] told SPORT, on signing players like Håland/Mbappe: “I have to be cautious, we won't be able to sign the best players for 2 years. We have other priorities: lower salaries. We should have La Masia as backbone, with stars complimenting them” #Transfers 🔄
Romeu, on the club’s relations with Nike: “We're talking. Like any relationship, there are moments of more AND less difficulty. Among conciliatory people who like to negotiate, there can be no problems” @sport #FCB 🤝
Romeu, on changing manufacturers [Nike]: “Everything can be valued. We are open to maximizing income wherever it comes from — but obviously, we always give priority to those who’ve accompanied us in the journey so far” @sport #FCB 👕
Romeu, on whether the club’s commercial department will use the figure of Ansu Fati while negotiating with sponsors: “Yes, although I don't want to focus only on Ansu. We have a great group of youngsters having the Barça DNA. You have to be patient with all..” @sport #FCB 👥
“In addition, it would be very healthy if there was a wider range and not focusing everything on an individual footballer as it happened with Leo Messi. We have many assets who have a commercial appeal and we can't just always focus on one” @sport #FCB 👥
Romeu: “We must not forget that the Barça brand is the most valued in the world on a sporting level - and this is what 'Forbes' magazine says, not me. I would’ve loved to have Leo with us, but I have to value the club's brand..” @sport #FCB 🇦🇷
“The best players in the world have passed through here. The ‘Messidependency' on an economic level would’ve ended sooner or later” @sport #FCB 🇦🇷
Romeu, on whether he’s noticed some financial effects on the club after Leo’s departure: “What we know is what we save, but knowing what we’ve stopped earning is more complicated. So far, we’ve not noticed the consequences in negotiations of sponsorship contracts.” @sport #FCB 🇦🇷

Joan Laporta: “Our goal is to turn Barça back into being the biggest club”. Full interview w/ SPORT below: 🧵⤵️
Laporta: “I don't have that much time to relax. I expected a very intense work, as it is being. On a day-to-day basis we are working very intensely because we have encountered a complicated situation and we want to do it well” #FCB 💪
Laporta: “The most painful thing so far has been the departure of Messi. The best thing is the achievement of the credit of €595M from Goldman Sachs. This allows us to pay short-term commitments and gives us some air to move forward” #FCB

(🌕) Barcelona is now leaning more towards selling Sergi Roberto rather than renewing his contract, something which was a priority one month ago. Neither is Lenglet’s future at the club certain, all scenarios are open in his case. More below. @ffpolo #Transfers 🔁🚨
ℹ️ Dembele: Barcelona wants to renew his contract - but if there is no agreement, he will be placed on the market. @ffpolo #Transfers 🇫🇷
ℹ️ Umtiti: His situation is much clearer. He isn’t in the plans of Barcelona and could be given a ‘letter of freedom’ [released]. @ffpolo #Transfers 🇫🇷

Full Interview Thread: Messi with @DiarioOle. #FCB
Messi, on his earliest memories playing football, his first matches as a kid, etc: “Even before , when I was 4/5 years old, I used to play with a ball - right from the time I started walking. Yes, I remember my first games at Grandoli [in Rosario] being on the field..” #FCB ⚽️
“I have older brothers and cousins, and we always got together to play. I don’t exactly remember the first time I played played with a ball, but I know I’ve been playing since I was very little. And when I was 4, I started playing at a club, and on a street, all the time” #FCB ⚽️

❗️Garcia Pimienta told @beteve: “I was & am ready to coach the first team. It would not be realistic if I’m not prepared & work daily during matches and training in case the first team needs me one day. It's my intention & enthusiasm, considering it's very difficult..” #FCB 🔵🔴
Pimienta: “I wasn't surprised by the performances of players like Mingueza, Araujo or Ilaix. They are great players, who have the Barça DNA & if you put them in front of the best, they are even better. I'm not at all surprised..” #FCB 🌟
Pimienta: “Riqui Puig is a player made to play for Barcelona” #FCB 🇪🇸🌟

Garcia Pimienta [Barcelona B Coach] told SER: "We are talking about the Barça DNA, but within the DNA you have to be a winner and competitive. This club aspires to win everything. If you don't have a winning mentality within your DNA, you can't play here" #FCB 🔵🔴
Pimienta: "The Barça DNA is a different way of understanding football - that they truly understand the game, they use both legs, they position themselves well, they think faster than others and that before receiving they already know what to do" #FCB 🔵🔴
Pimienta: "I assure you there are players [from the subsidiary] with this profile & that they can play in the first team, then there are other circumstances. But we must be faithful, believe, and give these players a chance, I am convinced that they have a level to spare" #FCB 👥
